connect (XMLSocket.connect method)

public connect(url:String, port:Number) : Boolean

Establishes a connection to the specified Internet host using the specified TCP port (must be

1024 or higher), and returns

true or false, depending on whether a connection is

successfully established. If you do not know the port number of your Internet host computer,

contact your network administrator.

If you specify

null for the host parameter, the host contacted is the one where the SWF file

calling

XMLSocket.connect() resides. For example, if the SWF file was downloaded from

www.yoursite.com, specifying

null for the host parameter is the same as entering the IP

address for www.yoursite.com.

In SWF files running in a version of the player earlier than Flash Player 7,

host must be in the

same superdomain as the SWF file that is issuing this call. For example, a SWF file at

www.someDomain.com can load variables from a SWF file at store.someDomain.com

because both files are in the same superdomain of someDomain.com.

In SWF files of any version running in Flash Player 7 or later,

host must be in exactly the

same domain. For example, a SWF file at www.someDomain.com that is published for Flash

Player 5, but is running in Flash Player 7 or later can load variables only from SWF files that

are also at www.someDomain.com. If you want to load variables from a different domain, you

can place a cross-domain policy file on the server hosting the SWF file that is being accessed.
